[nanowrimo update]: Despite taking several days off from writing I’m ahead again! Whoo!<\/p>\n

\n

Tonight I was writing at Barnes and Nobles. I didn’t even buy any food there! It was great! I tried to see if they had the three mousquetaires in french but they didn’t. I had the intention to buy something but nothing to buy. Then I saw this months rolling stone. I’ve never read that particular publication before as it looks like trash. This time however, I picked it up. Inside was a wonderful article about Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. The following doesn’t really have much to do with the interview, its just some reflections I had afterwards.<\/p>\n

\n

Society’s Mirror:<\/strong>
\nThe Daily Show and the Colbert report are probably more trusted than real news shows. It seems to me that just about every edifice<\/i> for news has a slant. You can’t really trust anyone. One day the news is a study showing that wine makes your body super extra awesome cool and the next it turns out that it actually liquefies your insides. Everyone has such a huge agenda with everything that everything is obviously wrong. Like with Bush, either he is the best president we’ve ever had or he’s a maniacal mad man that ordered 9\/11. Both are flat out wrong. The Daily show also has an agenda. The difference is that their agenda is to make me laugh<\/i>. And they do a damn good job too.<\/p>\n

\n

The Daily show is awesome because, to me, it reflects society. Politics are a joke without a punchline and because of the Daily Show, now we have that punchline. It points out the absurdity of the whole system and keeps me laughing. I therefore salute you Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. You get a Narcore Awesome<\/i> on the Whack Awesome Rector Scale<\/i>. Good job, its the highest anyone has ever gotten!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
